Hey Val- Almost forgot-if what you said in your last post is true, then thank you. There are alot of bad guys on that list, but there are a number of decent guys who truly don’t deserve to be in the same category. There are alot of people out there (and this is true even beyond the registry) who have “accidently” commited their crimes. For myself, I didn’t intend to molest a child: I thought I was dealing with someone a year younger than myself! You have the good Samaritan, who tries to help someone in a car accident, suddenly they’re being sued by the victims family. There are documented cases of people downloading music or video files (unbeknownst to them, the files are encrypted with child porn), next thing you know, SWAT is tearing down your door for something you didn’t even know you had! I PERSONALLY know a poor guy who was given 10 YEARS in prison for 2 photos (5 years per photo). He was 19 when he went in (I read his transcripts). Now, I’m not condoning CP, not in anyway, but when you get more time for something you didn’t even know you had, than I guy who actually HAS SEX with their “victim” (I’m refering to myself), there is something very wrong with that scenario. And yes, especially if you’re not very tech-savvy, it’s VERY easy to get things on your computer without even knowing it’s there. To all of you out there- cross your T’s and dot your I’s when it comes to the internet. The expression “better safe than sorry” has never had such a strong significance. Guys- if you’re over 18, don’t date someone under 18- an ALLEGATION is all that’s needed, and Ladies- don’t pretend to be older than you really are, soon enough you’ll be pretending to be younger (lol). Good day and Happy Holidays to all!

Ok Val, now I HAVE to ask- has someone stolen your identity? This morning you said that I’m “no Romeo”, “deviant, combative and likely to commit another crime”, now, suddenly, YOU are being fair and balanced?!? If this is the REAL Valigator, go ahead and email me (yes, you have my email address). Sorry to doubt you, but this is EXTRAORDINARILY
out of character for you. Nonetheless, I wish you and yours the same.

There isn’t one aspect of your post I disagree with ..Not one, I am proud of ya kid..just stay away from offender forums..(unless your specific to an argument) and include what you just included here..Your aligning yourself with people you have no knowledge of.. Thats never a good thing,, there are plenty of us who are fighting for what you need, that’s how the Romeo legislation got passed..it wasn’t done by sex offenders, it was done by people like me and others who knew the registration process was eventually going to implode..Keep fighting the good fight Damian..the petitioning process is speeding up and the pendulum will swing the other way, knowing the state they will screw that up also .
Take Care of yourself and your family..

Thank you Val, I work hard to be the best I can be at whatever I’m doing. You know, you and I don’t have to be enemies (we don’t have to be friends either). I just need you to understand a few things: 1) I am NOT against the registry. I’m am against putting people on the registry who pose little to know threat on there. I believe that once a person has CLEARLY demonstrate they weren’t or are no longer a threat, (through therapy, rehab, proof of stable work and living conditions, documented support from family friends and employers and most importantly, no new crimes over a period of time), they should be removed. I don’t even have a problem with my ORIGINAL registration. I AGREED to register for 10 years, as was the law at that time. My issue is 6 years later (2006), in comes the AWA, stating I NOW have to register for 25 years. I NEVER agreed to that! It also leaves me with no recourse for removal. There are certainly devious individuals who want be removed so they can go back to criminal behavior under the radar. I imagine though, there are counltless others like myself, who simply want the ability to support and take care of their families. Anyone who knows me knows I can care less what ANYONE thinks of me, but don’t tell me I can’t the job that I’m more than qualified for, becuase of something that has no relevance whatsoever. Don’t tell me I can’t buy this house becuase it’s 999ft from an elementary school, when even my crime shows I have no interest in 3rd graders (never have, never will). My son gets bullied or bullies someone else at school, and I, as his father can’t go and deal with it?!? That’s what bothers me Val. All I’m saying is let the punishment fit the crime. My wife and I have been together since way back when I was still on probation. She’s been to court with me, she’s reported to probation with me (were they “card” her, because I guess they think I’m stupid enough to bring a minor with me to report). So she know the WHOLE story, she’s watched it play put in front of her, and seen how it’s affected me and US. Not everyone should be removed, and having a wife and child, I certainly agree society needs to be protected from the TRULY sexually deviant. Problem is, we’ve made the list SO expansive, just about anyone could end up on it, and removal is like a snowballs chance in hell. That, and Valerie, not everyone with a Latin last name is a spic illegal. Personally, I was born and raised here, I support closing the borders and am against “wet foot/dry foot”. My familie came here legally close to 50 years ago, and we are embarrassed by the constant barrage of illegals. You and I are more alike than you think. Again, thank you for the compliment, but I haven’t moved on, I just wasn’t a problem to begin with (not the way the registry makes me out to be).

Oh- as far as new crimes Val, it’s been nearly 12 years now: no new crimes. I’m all about bettering myself today. My wife and I just recently had our first child. I quit drinking AND smoking. I’m working full time and love what I do. Now I’m thinking about going back to school. That’s what I’m about today Val- sorry to disappoint you.

Hey Val- wow, I can’t believe your old @ss is still with us. As far as my handlers, I again have know clue what you’re talking about. Are you talking about the therapist who completely agreed that I pose “the lowest chance of reoffending, who poses little to no risk whatsover”, or the probation officer who was subsequently FIRED after I called her on one lie after another in open court? Even the JUDGE couldn’t believe audacity. There is alot more to my story than you’ll find in anyones little notebook. With that being said, I did what I had to do to stay out of jail. That means I was in and out of court more than Ild have liked. I’m combative and defiant because I REFUSED to be walked over by the probationers and their little power trips. Let’s be clear: my attorney got me out of jail, then I took over my defense. I filed 11 motions (including the one for early termination of probation) and WON 10 of the 11. The one I lost? Removal, but I have a game plan for that too. So, if me standing up for my rights, in a legal fashion btw, makes me “combative and defiant”, so be it. Of course they think I’m “high risk to commit another crime”, I wouldn’t lie down like a doormat for them, and they can’t handle that. But Val, think about this for a minute: after openly ADMITTING that I committed my crime, followed by not one, but TWO VOP’s, how is it that I still got a withhold of adjudication?No friends, no one on my side? You have no clue what “powers that be” I have stashed away, and when the time is right, they’re gonna come out. No points Val.

Actually I did more than pull your transcripts Damian and you are no Romeo..in fact your “handlers” consider you a real piece of work, combative, defiant and a high risk to be involved in another crime.

Seems you have no allies on either side of the isle…kid, probably best you keep your head down and do what your told..

Oh Val, what can I say, you are a character. Let me respond as clearly as possibly can to you last rant. What was my crime? Lewd/lascivious battery on a minor under 16. My name? Damian Garcia, but you already know that. My DOC number? W-18429. Court transcripts? Can’t help you there, I have my copies, if you’ld like, you can purchase a copy from the court house, unless the price the price has changed, it should be around $42. Bullshit screen name? Come on Val, I’ve always posted under my name. In fact, aren’t YOU the one that goes by “Valigator” (gives me shivers just typing it!). Now, if your interested in my account of what happened? I had SEX with a 15yr old girl when I was 18. Read the transcripts- I was born in 1982, and commited my crime in 2000. Did she lie about her age? Yes (said she was 17). Did I force, coerce, or manipulate her IN ANY WAY? No, actually, the sex was her idea. Did I try to dissuade her about having sex? Yes, for about 20 minutes or so I repeatedly told her this was a bad idea and that we shouldn’t rush things. Now, if YOU, valigator, have an honest bone in your body, please, please, pull my transcripts and tell me I’m lieing! Take me to task Val, PLEASE. You can’t Val, my transcripts are proof that what I just said is true (even the Prosecution admits this is an R&J case). Now I didn’t have to open myself up as I have, publicly, but if my name is in question, I will defend it. But it’s ok, you’ll either come back and lie (every sex offender, regardless of circumstance, is the son of the devil), or you’ll focus on some trivial matter, like my MISDEMEANOR pot possesion charge from when I was 17. What do you have left Val? I laid it all out like you asked. So please, take me to task? You can’t, but good luck trying.
